Modeling interactive components by coordinate kernel polynomial models

We proposed the use of coordinate kernel polynomials in kernel regression. This new approach, called coordinate kernel polynomial regression, can simultaneously identify active variables and effective interactive components. Reparametrization refinement is found critical to improve the modeling accuracy and prediction power. The post-training component selection allows one to identify effective interactive components. Generalization error bounds are used to explain the effectiveness of the algorithm from a learning theory perspective and simulation studies are used to show its empirical effectiveness.
